Hey all so I'm not doing too hot. Yesterday afternoon they sprayed three of the squad bays (very long rooms with bunk beds for about 100 people each) in my building for bed bugs with a very strong pesticide. I have landscaped my whole life and know how dangerous it is to breathe and touch with bare skin. Today we had to move all the mattresses they sprayed outside to air out. They are coated in plastic dust covers that were coated in poison. After working through our room I realized as they were moved they created clouds of poison particles that could seriously hurt or kill people especially in the enclosed rooms. We were ordered to do this with and given no protective gear. I am the senior lance corporal and I Had to do what I thought was right. I wouldn't threaten the lives of the guys below me and I moved all the mattresses myself to where they could be quickly be taken outside to fresh air. I spent over an hour breatheing and getting my skin and clothes coated in poison as well as my eyes. Everyone else is fine even though just dragging them outside was rough on people. I moved over 300. Right now I'm not doing so hot. The skin on my knuckles turned silver and peeled off a bit and I have a constant headache with nausea and other symptoms. I'm currently under watch for if I need to be hospitalized. I just wanted to let you all know just encase something happened. But know even as a student stuck at a dumb school whose never seen combat I did my duty to protect my brothers and I don't regret it.
